But we're not messing with it, BO exists to point out good points, which Leon was doing.

I just said that messing with it is not okay, since it is easy to manipulate.I did NOT say you are doing it, since i didn't check on that yet.

I ALSO said, that "Best of... " is not part of this topic. Start a new topic about it and we can discuss that part there, on that note i'd like to talk about false reaction too, since it's kind of related.

If somebody goes through old posts and thinks that something deserves a reaction, then it is legitimate to give it a reaction. If one considers a thing as awesome, then he gives an awesome.The exact same thing goes for necrobumps. If somebody goes through old threads and thinks that he can contribute something of worth to that thread, or thinks that a topic there deserves more attention because he is interested in it, then he can freely bump it. Many necrobumps have lead to interesting discussions about dead presumed topics.

I dont see why you shouldnt be able to agree with something just because it is older.

I voted neutral, but with Chisy's clarification that we're discussing just meaningless "bump" posts, I'd say yes. I wouldn't want someone genuinely contributing to a topic to be punished, but I don't like bumping for the sake of bumping.

i guess everything is said now.i think 14 votes is a little disappointing since this topic was kinda important but whatever...

======================================From now on these are no longer a simple guideline but strict rules:

- not more than one bump within 12 hours(by the same person, including alts)- no pointless bumps(you can bump to revive a conversation, a game or an AMA but not just to bump it, aka posting actual content)- no needless bumping of ridiculous long activity posts

These rules apply to:- All Threads (games that specify that bumps are allowed are an exception)- Activity/Wall-Posts

Punishment:

Ignoring this the first time, will be a warning (i will write down who did it and the warnings stay active for 14 days)

Ignoring this again after being warned will result in a 24 hour ban.

Continuing to break these will have the same consequences asbreaking any other rule repetitively.======================================

Even if someone is spam bumping, I don't consider it as a bother.I mean, it's not like a spam attack on the activity or on people's walls, when you literally can't use the most used part of this forum.If a thread you don't like gets bumped, it's no big deal really. Contrary to activity posts, threads take very little space on your screen (one line in fact), so someone's gotta work really hard to make the thread page annoying to use. Also, there's the whole "participated" tab, and bookmarks and stuff. Even if we get some serious bumping action going on, we'd still be able to access the tread that we want to check out.

So in a nutshell, since bumping is the least harmful form of "annoyance" in this forum, I'd simple by "who gives a damn shit".

No, but really:- bumps are fine- in case intense bump action, you're a mod, do some magic mod stuff like telling them that they should calm their tits with the bumping- if bump spamming, use the magic something of rushing a cockroach with your finger, aka "oh I'm sorry I thought you were attempting to spam".

I mean, jeez. It's not like we've got admins and mods around every corner.Even a CG attack could be handled well nowadays.

I mean;Like before, I said "bump" without reason and I mean before this was added...

Now I'm stopping saying that without reason...But, would it be nice if, the bans are extended for peoples who uses alts to bump the topic without reason? Like, user 1 bumps three threads without reason, and get banned for 24 hours, then he makes user 2 and user 3 to do it repeately, then Chisako bans them and extend the ban of user 1.

That would be good for user who doesn't read this. I something forgot to check rules...

A++ use of a 3000th post. We should clearly all be taking milestone posting lessons from Idler.
